Pepper Recipes We Can't Stop Eating

More than a vessel for cheesy fillings (see our roundup of stuffed peppers for reference), peppers are great for adding lots of flavour, some colour and texture to a dish. Whether you're roasting them, stuffing them or even blending them, they're good in everything from Gazpacho, to Ratatouille and Enchiladas. And their versatility doesn't stop there, alongside classics like Fajitas, they're equally as delicious when thrown into stir fries, mixed up into a pasta sauce or generously diced up into a salad. Looking for some inspiration? Here's 45 of our all-time favourite pepper recipes.
